RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or

Ordo Initiationis Christianae Adultorum (OICA) is a

process in the Catholic Church for prospective ADULT converts

to Catholicism. For RCIA Candidates, it is a period of reflection,

prayer, instruction, discernment, and formation. Those who

enter the process are expected to begin attending Holy Mass

on a Sunday, attend a weekly RCIA session, and to become

increasingly involved in the activities of their local parish. We

are glad to have some candidates who have come forward to

discern their inner call. For information, kindly contact Fr. Paul.

Kindly pray for those involved in RCIA PROJECT. Many Thanks!

Sunday Masses (as well as after the Saturday/ Vigil

Thomas Matthew, generous donors, all benefactors, who joined hands in prayers and contributions FOR GIVING US THIS BEAUTIFUL CHURCH & PRESBYTER WE SEE TODAY! May the YEAR 2019 usher in many more blessings! Happy New Year 2019!

RETIRING COLLECTION: SICK & RETIRED CLERGY: Every family watches as parents and grandparents grow older, as the years take their toll and they become less mobile, more forgetful, and prone to increasing ill-health. At the same time, others are able to retain their senses and continue to participate in what is going on around them. Whether this is a time of joy or filled with one frustration after another, all of the elderly deserve the love and respect that old age brings. Whatever their condition, they all retain happy memories of times past, of children growing up, of work-mates and events, of what made them laugh and sometimes what made them cry. So, we have an obligation to care for our Sick & Retired Clergy who cared for us all their life. Retiring Collection on JAN. 19TH & 20TH WEEKEND. Thank you. God bless…!
